This Tender opportunity has been issued by Truro and Penwith Academy Trust and Providers are invited to tender to become a Provider on
the Trust Supply Agency Services preferred Provider List. The Trust is looking to appoint the three highest scoring successful Providers to
provide Supply Agency Services to all schools within the Trust.
The Trust is looking to appoint the three highest scoring Providers who will become part of the Trust’s preferred Provider List. This will
enable each school to select any Provider from the list in order to book suitable cover for the role(s) required. The Trust will not guarantee
any level of supply for each individual Provider on the list and the schools will have the freedom to select whichever Provider they choose
to use from this preferred Providers list.
Cover is predominantly required for Teaching and Teaching Assistant posts. However, there have been a small minority of cases where
cover has been required for school administration. Cover is required for short term absence including sickness or CPD or authorised other
absence. Longer term cover is also a significant requirement e.g., long term sickness cover or while a role is being recruited.
The need for specialist SEN experience for teachers and Teaching Assistants is on the increase in all schools and to support two on site

Currently, each school in the Trust refer to a Supply Agency Provider in the instance the cover is required. No formal contract is in place.
For primary schools, the School Administrator manages the bookings and for secondary schools, this role is performed by the School
Business Manager or Cover Supervisor.
